Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Romance! Genuine storytelling! Paul John Hausleben's most intimate dabble into romance! Paul John Hausleben often states that he does not enjoy writing romantic stories or interjecting romance into his work. However, the author reluctantly agrees that romance is a necessary aspect of his style of writing. The truth is that romance is a powerful and often-used emotion within his volumes of work, and his underrated talent at capturing powerful romance remains, but it remains a significant and popular aspect of the author's work. While the author has composed many romantic short stories, novellas and novelettes, this novel is to date, the only dedicated romance novel that Paul John Hausleben has published. Where the River Bends and Curls shines as an example of the author's talent at capturing the joy, the pain and the power of love and is an outstanding example of the author's talent at writing romantic stories. The novel is a story of a conflicted and somewhat reluctant Lutheran clergyman and his inner struggles while recalling memories of his life and his past. Suddenly, during an introspective time in his life, a vivid and persistent memory of a captivating past romance that he long since felt that he buried deep in his soul, resurfaces, and the memories of that love invade his mind and heart. Amid the sudden recollections and while fraught with a deep depression, the clergyman struggles to understand his past, to face self-truths and to redirect his life, his love, and his career and dedication to God, when he needs to the most. This is a potent story of an intense romance between two young lovers of completely different backgrounds, cultures and religions, but the two of them share a once in a lifetime love, a love, which is unforgettable. Where the River Bends and Curls is a story filled with raw emotion, but when you read much deeper, it is a story about what true love and life's lessons can teach us. This novel is very different from Mr. Hausleben's past work, yet, as is true with the author's work; it is genuine storytelling, and the author fills the pages with more of his remarkable characters. The novel tugs at the reader's heartstrings, and the story is deeply emotional and truly unforgettable. At some point, perhaps, the author will admit that he might just have a touch of romance in his heart and that he writes moving and powerful romance stories. Perhaps he might write a few more romance novels for readers to enjoy. Time will tell!

Neuware - THE FEDERALIST PAPERS were a series of newspaper articles published by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay to persuade the citizens of 1787 and 1788 to vote for the newly proposed Constitution upon which our American government is based. They were so well done that Thomas Jefferson called them 'The best commentary on the principles of government ever written.' Despite the passage of years, the founders' insights are as fresh as the latest headlines and deal with such topics as excessive legislation, arrogance in public officials, limitations of government, multiculturalism, taxation, and more. The problem for modern readers is THE PAPERS are long (about 600 pages) and sometimes difficult to understand. This is where THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY comes in. First published in 1994, it earned such comments as 'a delectable book' (R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR) and 'I will keep this important work in my office' (Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice).This new edition of THE FEDERALIST, EXCERPTS WITH COMMENTARY brings you the best quotes from that 'best commentary' along with short explanations of their importance in today's America. Ours is an age of constitutional crisis, not just the conflicts between Congress and President or between conservative and liberal, but a crisis of understanding the basic principles and objectives of American government. Reading THE FEDERALIST can help deal with that crisis. In the words of Mark Brunelle in THE OREGON OBSERVER, 'This short book is a must read . . worth its weight in gold! . . . (A) timely work . . . a masterpiece!'.

Pars Excerpt from Caught in Amber She'd been betrayed by someone she trusted. It felt awful. She snatched a pillow from the head of her bed and clutched it, muffling her mouth in its softness. Was she going to cry No, she decided. She wasn't. She'd hold out for more information. There was so much that she didn't know. More she didn't know than she did know. And knowledge was the key out of her prison, she felt more and more sure. I'll go find out. I'll hunt down my answers. She paused before the mirror of her dressing table. Did she look like a girl who deserved to be betrayed Thick dark hair pulled back in a simple braid. Gray eyes, slightly reddened, even though she had not cried. Pointed chin, a little wobbly. No, she didn't look like a girl who deserved betrayal. But she did look like a girl who wasn't getting enough to eat. Did she Really Chin a little pointier, cheeks a little thinner, eyes and temples a little stretched Maybe. Or maybe not. She felt hollow inside, and scared. Which made her face look scared too. I'll figure something out. She'd figured out a lot already. I'm not giving up.
